PASTE CU P.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 649,864, dated May 15, 1900.

Application filed December 16, 1899. fierial No. 740,509. (No model.)

To all whom 2'15 new concern:

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM RODIGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Paste Cups, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in paste-cups or mucilage-holders or similar devices.

The object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of devices of this class.

The invention consists in substantially the construction set forth in the subjoined specification,illustrated .in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

Like letters refer to similar parts in both figures of the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of a paste-cup embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same on the line 2 2, Fig. 1.

The reference-sign A designates the paste or mucilage cup proper, which may be made of glass or other suitable material and have the usual form. This cup is provided with an integral partition arising from its inner bottom surface at one side of the center and indicated in Fig. 1 of the drawings, which partition extends upwardly untilits top surface is practically flush with the top surface of the cup, and thereby a brushchamber is produced of considerable length and of a depth equal to the depth of the cup. In the drawings the partition is designated by the reference-sign B and the brush by the referonce-sign C. A cover to the cup is used and should extend a sufficient distance above the upper surface of the cup to enable the handle of the brush to be inclosed thereby. This cover is designated by the reference-sign D and may be attached by screw=threads or any other desirable manner to the cup. A cover is likewise made of glass or similar material, and therefore maybe economically manufactured.

It will be observed that inasmuch as the brush-chamber is formed partially of the one wall of the cup and by a vertical integral partition, the upper edge of which is flush with the upper edge of the cup, and such chamber extends longitudinally for a considerable length, advantages arise over the ordinary construction. By reason of the transverse length of the brush-chamber I am enabled to employ a brush of considerable width, and no particular care or attention is reqniredin inserting the brush, and inasmuch as the par tition extends as high as the Walls of the cup the paste or mucilage is prevented from gaining access to the brush-chamber, and as the brush has a greater height than the chamber in which the paste or mucilage is placed the danger of soiling the hands with this mate rial is obviated. Furthermore, the cover be ing of sufficient height to allow the brush to be entirely inclosed, and also having a diameter practically equal to the diameter of the cup, including the brush-chamber, may be readily applied to the cup without the neces sity of care in placing it over the brush and maybe made of the same material as the cup.

It is obvious slight changes may be made in the details of construction Without depart ing from the spirit of the invention.

I am aware of the patent of Wm. H. Redington, granted May 23, 1890, Serial No. 625,517, and do not wish to be understood as claiming anything embraced in that patent.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A paste-cu p or m ucilage-holder provided with a brush-chamber composed of a portion of the Wall of the cup and an interior partition integral with and meeting such Wall at its ends, in combination with a cover extending above the cup a suificient distance to inclose the handle of the brush which projects above the cup, and being of a diameter practically the same as the diameter of the cup, substantially as and for the purpose setforth.

2. A paste-cup or mucilage'holder, comprising a cylindrical chamber, and having a partition-wall arranged in said chamber and to one side of the geometric center thereof,to form a receptacle for the brush, said partition being formed integrally with the Walls of said cylindrical chamber, as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A paste-cup or mucilage-holder, comprising a chamber having a partition wall formed integrally with the walls of said chamber, and arranged within and to one side of extending above the top edge thereof to in- 9 the center of said chamber, to form a recepclose the handle of the brush, as and for the tacle for the brush, the upper edges of said purpose set forth.

chamber and partition-wall being flush with WILLIAM RODIGER. 5 each other, the handle of the brush adapted Witnesses:

to extend above said top edges, in combina- S. E. DARBY,
